Past studies loosely define culturally heterogeneous group composition as any combination of mixed nationality and/or ethnicity. A case study with three project groups was conducted to investigate if culturally diverse groups composed differently in terms of nationality/ ethnicity mix will experience different types of communication problems. Communication problems of discussion dominance, redu...

Artificial electrical stimulation that uses biphasic current pulses requires that the cathodic and anodic phases have zero biphasic mismatch. While biphasic mismatch should be minimized, a residual voltage appears due to charge leakage even for perfectly matched signals. Active anodic feedback methods control the charge in the anodic phase such that the tissue environment is electrochemically n...

The aim of this qualitative study was to explore 28 Korean American parents' perceptions of parenting. Interview data were audio taped, transcribed, and analyzed using content analysis. Themes that emerged were: Korean parenting constructed in Korea, European American parenting observed in the United States, and resulting reconstruction of Korean American parenting. The findings indicate that K...

The purpose of the study was to examine the accuracy of pedometer steps and activity time (Walk4Life, WL) for youth with developmental disabilities. Eighteen youth (11 girls, 7 boys) 4-14 years completed six 80-meter self-paced walking trials while wearing a pedometer at five waist locations (front right, front left, back right, back left, middle back). Trials were video taped to determine actu...

As integrated circuits become more and more complex the need for fast verification becomes increasingly important. Hardware acceleration is used for fast functional verification. This is an area where software tools for logic simulation are too slow to be useful for large designs, since the number of gates is too high [1]. Another trend in today's electronic systems is an increasing amount of s...

Motivated by predictions of a structured neuronal model of the cortex, we performed a behavioral experiment which showed that listening to a Mozart piano sonata produced significant short-term enhancement of spatial-temporal reasoning in college students. Here we present results from an experiment which replicates these findings, and shows that (i) 'repetitive' music does not enhance reasoning;...

This study explored physicians' interactions with EHRs to understand the qualities that contribute to patient satisfaction with their use of the technologies and patient satisfaction with physician. Video-taped observations of 100 medical consultations were used to distinguish interaction patterns between physicians and EHRs. Quantified observational methods were used to contribute to ecologica...

Since Polya, Wertheimer, and Hadamard's descriptions of qualitative reasoning strategies used by scientists and mathematicians, very little data has been collected on whether these strategies are actually used by experts. This study used video-taped thinking­ aloud interviews to examine the problem solving strategies of professors and advanced graduate students in technical fields. Evidence fra...

This article introduces mirrored practice of leveling up as a model for educator learning grounded in connected and the mentor framework. Our purpose is to introduce this share examples how it can be enacted. We argue that rich successful way youth development professionals expand their capacities educators support expansive possibilities young people’s learning. The supports all educators’ gro...
